Question 1 State Spaces [7]
(a) Define the concept of a Fully observable environment. (1)
An environment is said to be Fully observable if an agent’s sensors give it access to
the complete state of the environment at each point in time.
(b) Consider a game of chess. Is this a deterministic or stochastic environment?
Clearly explain why. (2)
Deterministic: because, in chess, the next state of the game (environment) is
completely determined by the current state of the game and the move (action)
executed by a player (agent).
(c) Differentiate between discrete and continuous environments. Provide an example of
each (4)
An environment is said to be discrete if its state-space is finite and, for each state,
there are only finitely many percepts to be perceived and only finitely many
actions to choose from. The game of chess is an example of such an environment.
On the other hand, a continuous environment has infinitely many distinct states,
infinitely many percepts, and infinitely many actions to choose from at any state.
Taxi driving is an example of a continuous environment.

(a) Explain what an admissible heuristic is. (2)
An admissible heuristic is one that never overestimates the true cost of reaching
the nearest goal.
(b) List the nodes and their 𝑓̂ values that are added to the frontier when node d is
expanded. Assume that node a is already on the explored (closed) list. (3)
l(10), i(14)
Not enough information is provided to answer this question…
Which search strategy should we use, Greedy-Best-First or A*?
If A*, which node is the initial (root) node? You cannot calculate PATH-cost if you
don’t know where the root is!
Let’s ASSUME that A* should be used, and that node a is the start node.
Expanding a gives
e(4) f(e) = 6
2
a(10) 3 d(5) f(d) = 8
b(12) 7
8
f(b) = 19
c(4) f(c) = 12
Next; e has the lowest f-cost, so it will be expanded next:
5 k(2) f(k) = 9
e(4)
2
a(10) 3 d(5) f(d) = 8
b(12) 7
8
f(b) = 19
c(4) f(c) = 12
Finally, expanding node d:
5 k(2) f(k) = 9
e(4)
2
a(10) 3 d(5) 6
b(12) 7 l(1) f(l) = 10
8 7
f(b) = 19
c(4) f(c) = 12 i(4) f(i) = 14
Notice that k is already on the frontier.
This is how I got to my answer…
